Description:
"Tell That to the Marines. James Montgomery Flagg.
The newspaper laying at his feet reads
"Huns kill women and children".
An important original poster from Flagg. Museum linen backed and in excellent condition. A WWI classic U.S. Marines recruiting poster by America's greatest war poster artist. This has moved up in value in recent years, and is hard to find in excellent condition, such as this.
"Tell that to the Marines" had originally been an insult, implying that the Marines would believe anything, but Flagg's poster turned that around and made it into a veritable battle cry.
James Montgomery Flagg was born at Pelham Manor in Westchester County, New York and was considered to be a prodigy.  His most well-known piece features Uncle Sam and the recruiting slogan "I Want You for U.S. Army." During his career, Flagg created 46 war posters in addition to writing and directing a film for the Red Cross. He was a diverse artist and character, whose work is sought after in galleries and museums throughout the world today."
